I was burnt by this one as well ... you need to remove the { "mouse" : } section surrounding your template definition. So it should look something like: `curl -XPUT localhost:9200/_template/mouse -d' { "template": "*", "settings": { "index.index.refresh_interval": "10s", "index.routing.allocation.total_shards_per_node": 2 }, "mappings": { ... etc. ... } }` ---
